EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES DEGREE

ANTICIPATING, INNOVATING, AND SHAPING THE FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY

Emerging Technologies (EmTech) is a technology foresight, innovation, and strategy degree,
focused on foreseeing, creating, and managing rapidly changing and emerging technology products
and services. It is ideal for creative, practical, and solution-oriented professionals seeking
to anticipate, shape, and take advantage of current advances and coming developments in any of
six accelerating, global, and world changing technology clusters:

Information Technologies, AI and Robotics

Physical Sciences, Engineering and Nanotech

Energy, Resources, and Greentech

Biotech, Medicine and Enhancement

Social, Economic and Political Technologies

Military, Security, and Transparency Technologies

The EmTech curriculum provides basic literacy across these exciting and transformative technology
clusters, teaches well-respected technology foresight and innovation methods, and improves strategy
via business cases and your thesis. You will learn how to identify, forecast, and assess emerging
technology opportunities and threats, to assess and improve your organization’s innovation practice
and culture, and to bring foresight to business strategy and planning teams. Do you have a technology,
business, or humanities background? A desire to learn technology foresight, innovation, and strategy
methods to address global challenges or advance your organization? EmTech is your degree.

You will gain professional forecasting expertise, demonstrate foresight and innovation competencies
in those industry technologies most applicable to a particular client or industry, and engage in a
foresight or innovation intrapreneurship or entrepreneurship project in your thesis. You will also
be encouraged to do an optional client internship during your thesis, and to take an optional industry
forecasting certificate exam during or after the program. EmTech graduates are ready to work in
technology foresight, innovation, or strategy roles in the following client types: startup, corporate,
consulting, nonprofit, journalism, education, government, military, security, assessment, policy,
and other organizations.
